## Constants Detailed

### BOTTOM

Constant used for setting vertical alignment for components.\
It makes the text inside the component be bottom aligned vertically.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var bottomAlignedLabel = form.newLabel('BOTTOM', 520, 10, 50, 300);
bottomAlignedLabel.verticalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.BOTTOM;
```

### CENTER

Constant used for setting horizontal and vertical alignment\
for components. If used for horizontal alignment,\
then the text of the component will be horizontally centered.\
Similarly, if used for vertical alignment, then the text\
of the component will be vertically centered.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var hCenteredLabel = form.newLabel('CENTER', 10, 40, 300, 20);
hCenteredLabel.horizontalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.CENTER;
var vCenterAlignedLabel = form.newLabel('CENTER', 460, 10, 50, 300);
vCenterAlignedLabel.verticalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.CENTER
```

### DEFAULT

Constant used for setting horizontal and vertical alignment. DEFAULT value makes the alignment behave as if it was not changed before.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var hLabel = myJSForm.getLabel('label_name');
if (hLabel.horizontalAlignment == SM_ALIGNMENT.LEFT) hLabel.horizontalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.DEFAULT;
```

### LEFT

Constant used for setting horizontal alignment for components.\
It makes the text inside the component be left aligned horizontally.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var leftAlignedLabel = form.newLabel('LEFT', 10, 10, 300, 20);
leftAlignedLabel.horizontalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.LEFT;
```

### RIGHT

Constant used for setting horizontal alignment for components.\
It makes the text inside the component be right aligned vertically.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var rightAlignedLabel = form.newLabel('RIGHT', 10, 70, 300, 20);
rightAlignedLabel.horizontalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.RIGHT;
```

### TOP

Constant used for setting vertical alignment for components.\
It makes the text inside the component be top aligned vertically.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var topAlignedLabel = form.newLabel('TOP', 400, 10, 50, 300);
topAlignedLabel.verticalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.TOP;
```
